Chapter 265: Dark Clouds Over the Battlefield 3

The allied heroes had been defeated and come back, and Sarang was also inside the castle. She looked at Junhyuk and asked, “You’ve died twice already?”

“Yes.”

Sarang had also experienced what it meant to travel through the dark emptiness, and she did not want to experience that again. Because Junhyuk had already experienced it twice in the same battlefield, she was very worried about him.

He understood her concern and patted her shoulder, looking at the allied heroes. They all had serious expressions on their faces.

“I had heard rumors, but I wasn’t expecting this,” Artlan said, and the others nodded. Legend candidates. They were the current Dimensional Battlefield’s strongest, and that description fit. One-on-one battles were meaningless. Three of them had even shut down all five allies, even with Junhyuk there.

Artlan smacked his lips and said, “Was the combination bad?”

An absurd tank and two DPS. The tank had taken most of the attacks, but hadn’t died, and the allies all got killed by a long-range AOE while standing in one spot.

“We’ve already lost the second tower in the upper and middle paths, so we’ll take the bottom path and attack.”

“You mean attack at the second tower in the bottom path?”

Artlan nodded and added, “It would be nice if we could kill the dragon, but we’d all die in the process. So, we have to push to the second tower. We must thwart the enemy by using our ultimates.”

“When do we go to Bebe?”

“Let’s put that plan aside for now.”

“Why?” Vera asked, and Artlan continued, “Did you lose a lot of items?”

Everyone frowned. They had been killed twice, so each of them had lost two items.

“But we can’t retreat now,” Vera said.

“Correct. I don’t want to retreat either,” Artlan continued. “So far, every time we advanced to a higher tier, we’ve been killed twice, but by killing our enemies once, we were able to purchase upgrades. However, things are different now.”

“If we can them now, things would be great?”

“Yes, but we can’t kill them now.”

Vera touched her chin and looked at him.

“Artlan, are you admitting defeat?”

“I’m not so how it would go in other dimensions, but there are too many restraints here. We must compare ourselves to them, and their items incomparably better than ours. Rather than fighting them, we should focus on winning the battle.”

Artlan looked very serious.

“If we all get killed again, we might have to give up this round.”

Everyone was shocked while listening to him, and Artlan smiled bitterly.

“I did not know these words would come out of my lips.”

Junhyuk hadn’t expected them to either, and Artlan continued, “If we lose more items, the next round will be even more difficult.”

“Is there a way to win in the next battlefield?”

Artland shrugged.

“This time, we all have enough money to upgrade our items, but if we lost any more items, the upgrades will be meaningless. We won’t win any battles.”

“So, to win the next round, you plan to lose this one?”

“But we must put in some effort. Without their tank, if we concentrate our attacks, we can win, especially if they lose their own items.”

Of the enemies, Tuelus had been killed. They hadn’t picked up Tuelus’ item, but it still meant the allies could kill an enemy.

It would be nice if they could kill more. It would be even better if they could pick up items as well.

Artlan looked at the allies and announced, “Let’s move out.”

Junhyuk patted Sarang’s shoulder, and he followed the heroes. When he left the castle, the living spirit responded to the presence of mana and started going wild. This time, the living spirit travelled through smaller veins. The arteries could already handle it, but the smaller pathways started getting renewed.

Artlan picked him up and carried him. Junhyuk knew what Artlan thought of him, and he owed the hero a lot.

While on Artlan’s back, he focused on the living spirit. The spirit was getting bigger, and his soul also got bigger each time he died. Because of the deaths, his soul was growing faster than the living spirit. He didn’t want to die, but the deaths were helping him, so he took advantage of it.

He the felt warm energy on his back, and the living spirit went back to sleep, so Junhyuk opened his eyes. When he stepped on the ground, he saw the second tower empty.

“The enemy isn’t here.”

“It’s better this way. Destroy it.”

It was an easy affair to destroy the second tower. The allied heroes all participated, and the tower went down quickly. Once over, Junhyuk looked at his hands and then at Artlan.

“Whenever I move, I feel the living spirit.”

Artlan responded, “It’s probably large now.”

His soul was growing, so the living spirit was also growing quickly. Artlan looked at him and added, “Feel the response from the living spirit. Later, you’ll make the spirit your own by adding your movements to the spirit’s movements. You’ll have supernatural strength.”

“Strength?”

Artlan nodded.

“This place restricts your strength, but when you return to your own dimension, you will feel it. With the living spirit, you’ll become more powerful, so train harder with it.”

“Good to know.”

Artlan looked at Vera and asked, “Did you get what I asked?”

“Wait.”

Vera pulled out a small marble from her Spatial Bag, and Artlan took it and gave it to Junhyuk.

“This will make you stronger from now on.”

“May I ask what it is?”

Vera tapped his shoulder and said, “Monsters from other dimensions have been bothering your world.”

“Yes, but if I interfere, management will send even stronger monsters.”

She touched the small marble in his hand and said, “This will pull the coordinates of the dimensional tears.”

“What?!”

Because he didn’t understand her, he just stared at her.

“The monsters in your dimension. As long as you don’t activate it at the same time as a dimensional tear, this will pull them toward it,” she said.

Junhyuk broke into cold sweats.

“Are you saying you want me to kill the monsters? But what happens if a buff monster appears?”

Artlan said, “That’s just you wanting to stay a champion.”

Artlan stared at him.

“You mustn’t take steps back to move forward.”

Junhyuk looked at his hand. He felt the living spirit. When he returned to Earth, he would be stronger than ever.

“I can kill whatever I want?”

Artlan said, “The last thing management will send are buff monsters.”

“No dragons?”

Vera shook her head.

“It will be too much for management to send dragons. It’ll only be more buff monsters, and you will deal with them.”

“But not even a single hero can deal with a buff monster?!”

Artlan smiled coldly.

“This place has restraints. You think it would be the same in my dimension?”

Junhyuk was nervous. The truth was that monsters would also be stronger. Because buff monsters would also be stronger, he is scared to fight one by himself.

“Whew! So, if it doesn’t open at the same time, I can pull the tear?”

“Correct.”

His targets were the monsters, and he could even carry out a small revenge against management, so he placed the marble in his Spatial Bag.

“Get stronger,” Artlan said, grabbing his shoulder.

Junhyuk nodded. He wanted to see an end to the Dimensional Battlefield. He wanted to become a legend.

“I’ll be stronger.”

Artlan laughed.

“Sure. Now, let’s move.”

Artlan followed the road, and Junhyuk went after him. If there were enemies at the end of the road, the allies might all get killed. However, they ran in full haste and arrived at the enemy castle.

An enemy was standing there. It wasn’t Aak, but a giant robot. It was four meters tall, and by its height alone, it could have been a tank, but the allies had heard about its powers.

Keros and Tuelus were also there with the robot. Tuelus was smiling coldly.

“I heard you destroyed the tower, so I returned. Nice to meet you again.”

Tuelus had been killed in the previous battle, so he had to have lost an item and gotten weaker. He wanted revenge. However, the allies were all thinking the same thing.

Artlan laughed hard.

“You are using three again?”

“The other two went to destroy your towers.”

If the enemies destroyed the towers, the allies could be attacked from any path, but Artlan inhaled deeply and said, “Don’t care.”

Artlan had given up on victory in this round. The allies would focus on killing their enemies and making them weaker, and Aak wasn’t there. There was a chance the allies might win.

Artlan looked at Junhyuk and said, “I trust you.”

He started preparing the quickdraw, and everyone prepared their own ultimates. Nudra was standing at the front.

Junhyuk swallowed hard. He was scared that the allies would be wide open while preparing their ultimates, but he also knew it was the only way to go if they were to kill any enemies.

He got ready to raise the force field, and Keros smacked his lips and raised his sword.

“You must have made you minds, but why are you all standing so close…”

Keros hit the ground with the giant sword, releasing the red shockwave, and Junhyuk raised the force field.

Boom!

The force field shook, but there was no damage.

Tuelus clicked his tongue and said, “You think you can kill us?”

The enemy heroes all retreated toward the castle, taking the minions and retreating to the archers cover.

Still, Junhyuk felt confident that he could kill one enemy hero, and his target was Tuelus.

Artlan was fuming with killer intent, and Junhyuk touched him. He inhaled deeply, and Artlan whispered in his ear, “Kill Tuelus.”

Junhyuk teleported to the middle of the battlefield, right in front of Tuelus.
